Lu Hao quickly produced the silver.
He had just warmed the banknotes.
Before he could take them out to admire them, they had gone from his pocket to someone else's.
Yun Shu withdrew her thoughts and looked down at the stack of banknotes Lu Hao had placed before her.
"You've improved. You know to ask for more when you cheat people. Only then do you not disgrace the title of 'Saintly Divine Doctor'." Yun Shu nodded in satisfaction.
Lu Hao was overjoyed by the praise. "Yun Yueyin is impatient to have her pitted and uneven face healed. The ointment I prescribed for her has some effect in promoting skin regeneration and whitening. I'm absolutely not trying to help her regain her looks. Instead, I know that the more effort I put in, the more hopeless her face will become!"
He patted his chest after speaking.
He had guessed it all!
And he had handled it perfectly!
Yun Shu nodded and praised, "Very good. Your medical skills have improved."
"Then study this pill carefully! Once you've studied it, take one every month thereafter," Yun Shu handed him a large pill.
The moment he saw the large pill, his eyes lit up, and he blurted out, "If I don't study it well, then..."
"Then you'll have to endure the poison's onset, and I'll give you another one a month later for you to continue studying. Understand?" Yun Shu stood up and glanced at him.
Whether he could comprehend it or not, and whether his medical skills could reach a higher level, depended on his comprehension and talent!
With that, she left.
Lu Hao's heart trembled. He stared at the large pill in his hand, his eyes full of admiration.
He was extremely careful, not daring to let the pill fall to the ground.
He was a cleanliness freak. After he understood this thing, he would have to eat it to detoxify himself!
All his fawning for so long was for this single large pill!
"What kind of herbs are used to make this..."
Lu Hao began to study it with great concentration.
...
As the Night King's carriage was about to reach the General's mansion.
It suddenly collided with another carriage.
Qiu Lu was utterly speechless.
Had his carriage driving skills deteriorated, or had the oncoming carriage gone mad?
He had been frequently bumping into other carriages recently. He suspected someone was doing it intentionally!
Just then.
Someone alighted from the carriage opposite.
When Qiu Lu saw the face, he was shocked. It was the eldest daughter, Yun!
His suspicion from before deepened.
It was very possible that it was intentional!
After Yun Yueyin got out of the carriage, she put on a look of deliberate panic, especially when she saw Qiu Lu, she even showed a hint of astonishment and surprise.
"We've bumped into each other again!" Yun Yueyin exclaimed incredulously.
She stealthily glanced at the carriage, wondering if Zhan Xiao Li was inside.
Qiu Lu frowned. He had a very strange feeling that the white on Yun Yueyin's face didn't look natural.
It didn't look like she had applied a thick layer of powder.
Instead, she looked as if she were seriously ill, her face pale and devoid of any color.
"Your carriage driver should be replaced, Miss Yun!" Qiu Lu said drily.
Yun Yueyin's complexion turned a little unpleasant upon hearing this.
Zhan Tian Ye and Zhan Xiao Li, who were inside the carriage, heard the conversation between Yun Yueyin and Qiu Lu outside.
A cold glint flashed in Zhan Tian Ye's eyes.
Zhan Xiao Li's eyes were full of wariness.
Bad woman!
Suddenly, he heard her thoughts.
"That little bastard must be in the carriage. I must make him call me mother today and obey me! It would be best if I could make him hurt Yun Shu!"
Zhan Xiao Li's little face turned cold.
Hurt his mother?
Dream on!
He would protect his mother and not let anyone hurt her!
Yun Yueyin's eyes flickered with anticipation as she subtly walked towards the carriage.
"May I know who is in the carriage? Is the Night King inside, or is the young prince inside?" Yun Yueyin asked tentatively.
It shouldn't be the Night King's time to leave the mansion at this hour.
So, she was almost certain it was Zhan Xiao Li.
Suddenly.
A voice as cold as water came from inside the carriage, "Yun Yueyin, you dared to lie to me about what happened back then?"
This question caught Yun Yueyin completely off guard.
Yun Yueyin's face turned ashen.
She almost fell to the ground in shock.
Could it be that the Night King had sensed something? How was that possible?
Could it be that Yun Shu had gone to the Night King herself and revealed everything from back then?
No, no, that's impossible. Yun Shu probably had some feelings for Duke Yi now, and she was using all sorts of tricks to entice him, probably wishing to marry Duke Yi.
She wouldn't want anyone to know that she had given birth!
Don't panic, absolutely do not panic. Everything is still uncertain. She didn't need to panic at all!
Besides, even if the Night King knew the truth, so what?
Only she and Yun Shu knew what happened back then. She could twist the truth however she pleased!
And she was carrying the Regent's child!
What was there to fear?
She straightened her back and replied coldly, "I don't understand what the Night King means."
At this moment, Yun Yueyin could not imagine that Zhan Xiao Li had heard all her inner thoughts.
Zhan Xiao Li's little face seemed to be covered in frost. He had always thought that the women who tried to seduce his father before were very bad, and that there were no worse women in the world.
But the bad woman he thought was his mother was even worse!
And he had learned a secret!
Did Mother like Duke Yi?
What had seemed difficult to Zhan Xiao Li moments ago now felt even more so.
If Mother really liked Duke Yi, what should he do?
Should he still try to bring Father and Mother together?
Or should he respect Mother's wishes and tell Father to stay as far away as possible?
The little fellow furrowed his brows in distress.
Zhan Tian Ye lifted the carriage curtain and gazed at Yun Yueyin coldly, "Once I uncover the truth about what happened back then, Yun Yueyin, I will take your life."
Yun Yueyin was immediately startled.
She looked at Zhan Tian Ye in terror.
She clenched her fists and calmed her mind.
Suddenly, she saw Zhan Xiao Li, who was sitting beside Zhan Tian Ye.
She immediately softened her voice and said, "Young Prince."
Look at me!
Hurry up and call me mother!
Zhan Tian Ye frowned and looked down at Zhan Xiao Li.
Would Xiao Li, who had been looking for his mother, now cry and refuse to get out of the carriage?
What he had said to him two days ago was vivid in his mind. Whether it was true or not depended on how Xiao Li would act.
"Get lost, don't block the way!" Zhan Xiao Li said coldly to Yun Yueyin, not wanting to hear her inner thoughts anymore!
Don't waste her time looking for her mother!
She still wanted him to call her mother?
Daydreaming!
Pure wishful thinking!
Qiu Lu couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. It seemed the young prince really didn't intend to acknowledge Yun Yueyin!
He immediately got into the carriage.
He quickly drove the carriage towards the General's mansion.
After the carriage had moved far away and disappeared from sight, the coachman jumped down from the carriage and came to Yun Yueyin's side, whispering, "Miss, where shall we go now?"
Yun Yueyin's face was grim, and she gritted her teeth. "Let's go to the Regent's mansion!"
Damn it!
Where did it go wrong? Why had Zhan Xiao Li's attitude towards her changed so drastically twice?
No matter how hard she racked her brain, Yun Yueyin could not figure it out.
